Sweeter For Me |
| Red telephone sitting by my bed |
| Practically bore your name |
| Lying alone in the twilight zone |
| Waiting for your call to come in |
| Hadn’t been for the kid |
| Who was sleeping upstairs |
| You’d have found me well on my way |
| On that midnight plane to L. A |
| You suffered sweeter for me |
| Than anyone I’ve ever known |
| I dared to look into the years |
| Would you still have your wife? |
| I dared to peer through my tears |
| Could we ever have a life? |
| Even thought I was pregnant by you |
| But I didn’t care |
| I just talked to my son |
| Would he mind another one? |
| You suffered sweeter for me |
| Than anyone I’ve ever known |
| Once more the mist rolls to the sea |
| Like a hundred times we’ve known |
| Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped |
| Where the wind had blown |
| How I dread when the evening comes |
| And I cannot be |
| What you want me to be |
| When you are next to me |
| How silent you are as the veils come down |
| Before my eyes |
| Soft and reserved as you move away |
| Donning your disguise |
| While every folk song that I ever knew |
| Once more comes true |
| And loves grows old |
| And waxes cold |
| You suffered sweeter for me |
| Than anyone I’ve ever known |
| Just one favor of you, my love |
| If I should die today |
| Take me down to where the hills |
| Meet the sea on a stormy day |
| Ride a ridge on a snow white horse |
| And throw my ashes away |
| To the wind and the sand |
| Where my song began |
| You suffered sweeter for me |
| Than anyone I’ve ever known |
